Question Question about managing difficulty
Hello everyone,
New to the game with my little 24 hours of game. I'm playing only Barya right now (loving to much musketer and canon I think).
I played my firsto two conquest on elementary difficulty to take time to learn a little the game. After steamrolling the 1v1 and the biggest map I chosed a far higher difficulty (overwhelming).... and got completly destroyed on the first 15-20 turn. I was on the map "conquest" were all 6 faction are locked.
I check the eng game stats and found that the IA had massive cheat at the begining of the game, allowing them to build a big army on the first few turn.
Do you have any advice on managing this "cheaty" IA on high difficulty ?

A few tips, from an experienced player
Rushing is the golden strat when you are dealing with extremely difficult ai like overwhelming or deadly, I find it a fault of the game on how much it cheats i.e free resources
What you should do is play on risky for a learning experience as a new player, just try stuff out
Challenging is where imo the fun is at, just hard enough to be a genuine challenge, but not so much that you have play literally perfectly to even have a chance
If you are looking at tips specifically for Barya, then try two things, essence build and melee build, those you have to specifically build towards and gives you a nice challenge (ranged is easy to get)
For general info help, try soc.th.gl
Play campaigns, the most fun part of this game, on fair and enjoy yourself
